      The average age of HN is something like mid 30s, that is a lot of us former (or not so former) emo fans on here.

        Why do you believe the average age is your age? I would guess the average age is 20s readers or 40s commentators

  Your comment reminded me of '1985' by Bowling For Soup and just how real it is for some of us :') Jake just hit a wall, he was ambitious to a fault. One Vyvanse a day, helps him work for the wage. His dreams went out the door, after they cancelled Warped Tour. Was going to tour with the band, instead he's home late cleaning the dirty pans. I love some of the elements that band put out eventually carried over into the era of Warped Tour I knew best when Pop-Punk was having it's day - which is also having a renaissance of sorts :)

    It's actually a song by SR-71; the Bowling for Soup version is a cover. The two versions have slightly different lyrics, and SR-71's feels slightly more urgent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sy8ulwexfY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sy8ulwexfY

  My brother in law is now a "Back-Office Systems Systems Analyst", or essentially Richmond from The IT Crowd.

    That’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. Gliding in and out of the office.
